==History==

Catholicism in Elkader can be traced the missionary activities of a priest from Holy Cross in the 1840s. He also visited mission stations in Guttenberg, Garnavillo and other communities. The first Mass in Elkader was celebrated in a log cabin were the town’s post office now stands. The first baptism was in 1855.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of St. Joseph’s Church )〕
The first resident pastor of the parish was the Rev. Peter McGinnis who came to St. Joseph’s in 1856. He purchased land and built the first church in limestone which was quarried from the hill behind the church. It took two years before the church was under roof, and even longer before it was furnished. The pastor had difficulties raising the $4,000 needed to build the church.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St. Joseph's Church )〕 Parishioners had to stand or kneel on the floor until the pews were added. The three altars added to the church were constructed of wood. In 1876 three brass bells cast in Cincinnati were bought for $1,800.〔 A bell tower, separate from the church building, was built to hold the bells. The church was extended in 1887 under the leadership of the Rev. J. F. Reilly. The extension created space for a new sanctuary and sacristy. The seating capacity of the church was increased to 100.
